Applications of Watercress in Medicine
Almost 3 years ago, in April 2018, Dr Kyle Stewart enthralled the Society with an account of his groundbreaking research into the medical uses of watercress.
Kyle now returns, as the Society's President, to update us on the continuing developments at Watercress Research Ltd.
Watercress Research is a phytochemical research company established in August 2019.
Over the last 18 months a small team have developed a watercress extract which holds promise as a new antibiotic, anti-cancer adjunctive therapy and anti-inflammatory agent.
This talk will discuss the underpinning science, the journey to date, potential clinical applications and what the future holds for Watercress Research.
The talk will be held using Zoom.
